Looking for baptism and marriage of Abraham Townsend

[LizzieL]

Thank you Alan
So it looks as if the Abraham who was the father of Charles was the one baptised in 1789 to Matthew and Elizabeth.

The Matthew who died in 1855 aged 85 (b abt 1770) was probably the father of Abraham (b1811 d 1831) and known as Matthew jnr, so likely to be son of Matthew and Jane.

If Jane died and Matthew snr remarried Elizabeth, then Matthew jnr would be half brother of Abraham (1789) as some trees have.

I've found a marriage of a Matthew to a Jane Leonard in 1770 in Abingdon.

21-4-1747   "        "       "       "       "            "         weaver

but so far as marriages of these Jane's  are concerned, they married as follows;
